I been haven that tci conv.with many different combos over the years combo before a ws build was a 580 14.6 bbc dart block.then decided to build a pump gas motor.at that time a had 4.11's with a spool.
I thought with A3.50 gear withvthe 10 inch converter would work together Good?

would this.make my headders glow.red at.about 2000/2500 rpms?

This is my first blower carbed engine.

And for my trans. Mod valve.run it.to a full vac source off the base plate...did i need.to tee.them together on both carbs to the mod vavle..thanks

ok update.....got car running smooier but headders are stll.glown red.temp redingwith my gun reads 780 °goes higher but my gun dont go that high but thats with motor just revedup at 3000 and holding it steadt for 30 seconds..also tryed timing set at 8 btdc idle eith total.of 28 °max.idled smooth....them i set dist at 28° at idle motorsurged bad

it seem to back fire seen flame shoot out of drivers side pipe i pulled the plugs and that side all look.black..could this be because i dont have the vac. Lines run to the bottom of the intake to pick up vac and boost ..maybe lran cause boost is not opening not given it more fuel? Comp checked the drivers side sence plugs where out 130 psi remenber 8.2/1 ad the ca specs above...anyideas ?

Thanks scared to run it anymore 12% under driven with 93gas 2summit elect.pumps Bigger than the 110 holley blue pumps 2#8's out the two tsnk fittings fuel filters first then pumps.the y'sinto a#10 line up front to a mallory reg. Then #6's to the carbs

I may be wrong, but that's an awful lot of stall for a blown BBC, IMHO. But that's really not your question. Best thing I could suggest is get the tune to a safe point and start track testing to dial it in unless you can buy some dyno time.

Quarter mile trap speed and ET along w/the other vehicle specs (mainly weight) is as good an indicator of real world HP as most anything. You have enough motor to run your numbers- the question comes down to chassis set up and traction.

Okay so my pic #5 the nipple.goes.to the.vacumm andbboost to the.bottom.of the intake.below.the.blower.correct
so when i fired.up my car.wirhout.rhe.ref.nipple.hooked uo the.power valve.so open or.closed.?.. I think.the.boost ref. Carbs.it.dont.get.a.vac.signal.to the.power.valve.so it.would.run rich correct my.plug are.black.
So of.i hookthem up the.nipple.the.the.boost.ref. It will get vac.closing the.power valve.then when it.gets.boost.it.willpush.the.power.valvw.open to get more.fuel correct?

im going to post up so pics.soon from my home pc..not.sure.how.to do them from cell.and can see and type.better.to without all the.peroids
